Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.

It was a pretty good course overall. Some parts moved a bit fast, but the examples were generally helpful. Worth the investment.

A good introduction. The structure was mostly clear, but I wish there were a few more real-world examples. Still, learned a lot.

It's a good course if you have some prior knowledge. For absolute beginners, some concepts might be a bit challenging. The structure is logical, though.

Solid course. It covered the essentials well, and the structure was logical. Could have used a few more practical application examples, but overall a good learning tool.
